Watch · Why San Diego Chooses Us
The Roof Over Your Family Is Not a Place to Cut Corners.
Here's the truth about roofing in San Diego: most contractors will quote you a low number, cut the underlayment, skip the flashing detail, and disappear the day the check clears. Two winters later — you're calling them back and their number is dead.
California First Roofing was built to be different. We are a licensed, bonded, and insured California contractor (CSLB #1094851) with a local office right here at 9606 Tierra Grande St, San Diego. For over 20 years we've installed more than 1,000 roofs — from Spanish tile in La Jolla to standing-seam metal in Rancho Santa Fe to full commercial TPO systems across San Diego County.
When you hire us, you get one thing: the roof done right the first time. Premium GAF, Owens Corning, and Boral materials. Manufacturer-backed warranties up to 50 years. A written scope of work with fixed, transparent pricing — no surprise change orders, no upsells, no games. Solid 5-star rated by every homeowner and property manager who's ever signed with us.
Call (424) 777-1619 today for a free, no-pressure inspection. We'll walk your roof, photograph every issue, and hand you an honest estimate — even if the answer is "you don't need a new roof yet." That's the California First promise.

Client Reviews
Solid 5-Star Rated
Real feedback from real California homeowners and property managers.
"California First Roofing replaced our entire tile roof and the difference is night and day. The crew was professional, punctual, and immaculate every single day. The lead-time and final price matched the estimate to the dollar. Highest possible recommendation."
"We interviewed four roofers for our estate. California First was the only team that showed up with drone imagery, moisture readings, and a fixed-price bid. The installation was flawless — real craftsmen who care about their trade."
"Emergency repair after a winter storm — they had a crew on our roof within 4 hours. Then they came back and did a full replacement. Honest, transparent pricing and beautiful workmanship. Solid 5 stars."
"Best roofing experience I've ever had. Lift-and-relay on our concrete tile saved us thousands vs. a full replacement, and they warrantied the work for years. These guys know exactly what they're doing."
"From the first call to the final inspection, everything was handled with care. Our historic Coronado home now has a slate roof that looks like it's been there for 100 years. Truly master-level work."
"Commercial TPO installation for our warehouse — completed on schedule, on budget, zero disruption to operations. Communication was outstanding. Will hire again for every property in our portfolio."
